Question

What can I purchase with a MS gift card from my rewards.

It would be great if when MS posts the gift card as something that can purchase with my rewards, that you give a link to what I can purchase ;)

What would that link be?

Can I use the gift card towards my yearly 365 subscription?

You can use the Microsoft gift card balance to purchase eligible products and content from the Microsoft Store, including games, apps, movies, and other products.

However, Microsoft gift card balance cannot be used to purchase or renew a Microsoft 365 subscription.

For Microsoft 365, you would need to use one of the supported payment methods or a Microsoft 365 prepaid subscription/product key.

Thank you and where do I find the store that has the items I can purchase. I figured you didn't let me pay for the 365 but okay

You can use your Microsoft account balance for eligible purchases from the Microsoft Store and Xbox Store, such as games, apps, movies, TV shows, and other digital content.

There isn't a separate store that shows only the items eligible for account balance. When you try to purchase an item, the available payment methods will show whether your Microsoft account balance can be used.

Microsoft 365 subscriptions have distinct payment requirements; therefore, the balance is not available for this purchase.
